How to Resolve Tax Mismatch when CGST & SGST Values Differ in Purchase?

In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to resolve mismatches in the CGST and SGST tax values in a Purchase Voucher.

Adjusting Tax Positions for the Current Bill

• Let's start with creating a new purchase voucher.

• Navigate to Configuration under the purchase voucher and click on "Calculation Mode" Settings.

• Check the order of the tax fields.

  • Ensure that Tax 2 appears above Tax 1 and Tax 3.

• If needed, use the Move Up button to place Tax 2 above them.

The mismatch usually occurs because the tax positions are not aligned.

• Now count all the fields up to Tax 2.

• Suppose Tax 2 appears in the 7th position.

• Set both Tax 1 and Tax 3 to the same position number (7).

• Save the configuration.

After this adjustment, recheck the bill totals — the CGST and SGST values will now match correctly.

Making the Change Default for All New Bills

To apply this correction to all future purchase vouchers:

• Open the Main Purchase Voucher Configuration.

• Go to Other Settings 1 → Calculation Mode.

• Move Tax 2 upward and adjust the positions of Tax 1 and Tax 3 as done earlier.

• Save the configuration.

Verification

• Create a new purchase transaction.

• View the Totals.

• You will see that the CGST and SGST values are aligned and correct.

By setting the correct tax positions, you eliminate the mismatch in CGST and SGST values both for the current bill and all future transactions.
